2.2.1. INTRODUCTION

Student learning progress tracking can play a key role in facilitation of the learning process as well as early identification of students-at-risk, thus allowing teachers to take certain measures to prevent unwanted behaviors. However, performing learning progress monitoring in the classroom may be quite challenging, time-consuming, and demanding on the teacher (Stecker, Fuchs and Fuchs, 2005). Often, teachers are occupied with other teaching-related responsibilities, thus, performing additional tasks such as individual student progress tracking may be off-limits (Stecker, Fuchs and Fuchs, 2005). However, learning technologies provide measures to address this issue by offering tools to facilitate collecting of data about student learning and enabling teachers as well as students to track the learning.
